How to Grow Your IA Score

Actions that build IA

Complete contracts cleanly

Every milestone approved on time, every payment released without dispute — these all contribute to Economic Utility and Dispute Resilience.

Join expert panels

When you act as an adjudicator and your ruling matches the panel consensus, Predictive Accuracy and Consensus Reliability both rise. Start with lower-stakes panels as you build track record.

Vote in community dilemmas

Participate in open votes. When the IA-weighted consensus aligns with your vote, Predictive Accuracy rises slightly. Think carefully — voting with the crowd for social reasons rather than honest assessment will not help you in the long run.

File and cite IP

If you create original work — code, research, designs, methods — register it on the platform as an IP asset. When others cite it in their contracts, Citation Reach and Origination Depth grow.

Ask good questions in panels

When you serve as an expert and ask questions that unblock a stalled panel, the Oversight Speed signal registers your contribution.

Actions that reduce IA

• Disputes ruled against you — especially ones where the expert panel finds you acted in bad faith
• Failed milestones — repeatedly missing deliverables damages Economic Utility
• Overturned panel votes — if your adjudication votes are consistently out of step with the final consensus

Your public credential

Your IA score is publicly verifiable at /ia/{your-username}. Share it on your CV, LinkedIn, or with counterparties before entering a large contract. It cannot be faked — it is computed directly from your on-platform activity record.
